Rohst Korean Marinade Grill has closed, perhaps to be replaced by the Londoner

Did you ever make it to Rohst on Greenville? Apparently not too many people did. When Mark Vamos critiqued it last October, he started his review this way:

My wife has one firm rule about dining out: If there’s no one else in the restaurant, we don’t eat there. She has a point. There’s something creepy about being the only people in a dining room. And while I don’t much hold with the whole wisdom-of-crowds thing, if you can’t lure even a couple of the 1,197,816 people in Dallas to stop by for a bite, it can’t be a good sign.

Mark convinced his wife to stay and dine at Rohst, even though the place appeared empty when they walked in at 8 p.m. on a Thursday. He described the fare, in his one-star review, as “mostly Koreanish food for people who are afraid of the real thing.” Apparently, the place never caught on. A reader alerted me it had closed, and it wasn’t hard to verify — the phone is disconnected and the restaurant’s website says “Rohst is now closed after one year of business. Thank you for dining with us!”

Well, that’s that. The reader who tipped me off said a sign on the building says the space will become the Londoner. A call to the Londoner’s owner yesterday afternoon has not been returned. If he does indeed open the Londoner there, it will be the fifth in D-FW.
